General Information
ITT Tech’s Permanent Shutdown Includes Nine Ohio Campuses
ITT Educational Services announced Tuesday that it is permanently closing all of its ITT Technical Institute campuses, including nine in Ohio, after the U.S. Department of Education (USDOE) blocked the schools from enrolling new students who receive federal aid. According to the USDOE, students have two options: Those currently or recently enrolled at ITT are eligible to have federal student loans for their programs at ITT discharged. Students may also be able to transfer credits to a different school, though that option may limit the ability to have federal loans discharged. USDOE said it will update student information on the ITT closing at its website, studentaid.ed.gov/sa/about/announcements/itt. (See The Hannah Report, 9/6/16.)
For information about whether another Ohio approved nursing education program would award credit for advanced standing and admission, students need to contact the programs directly. A list of approved programs and contact information is located under the Education Program link.
The Board has been informed that Parchment, (http://www.parchment.com/) is the custodian of records for the now closed Breckenridge School of Nursing and Health Sciences @ITT Technical Institutes located in Ohio. Parchment is presently processing transcript requests.

NCSBN Board of Directors (BOD) Upholds Current Passing Standard for the NCLEX-RN Examination
The National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN), www.ncsbn.org, voted on Dec. 9, 2015, to uphold the current passing standard for the NCLEX-RN Examination (the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses). The passing standard will remain at the current level of 0.00 logit that was instituted April 1, 2013. This passing standard will remain in effect through March 31, 2019.
After consideration of all available information, the NCSBN BOD determined the current passing standard was sufficient as a measure of safe and effective entry-level registered nurse (RN) practice. The BOD used multiple sources of information to guide its evaluation and discussion of the passing standard. As part of this process, NCSBN convened an expert panel of 11 nurses to perform a criterion-referenced standard-setting procedure. The panel's findings supported retaining the current passing standard. NCSBN also considered the results of national surveys of nursing professionals, including nursing educators, directors of nursing in acute care settings and administrators of long-term care facilities.
In accordance with a motion adopted by the 1989 NCSBN Delegate Assembly, the NCSBN BOD evaluates the passing standard for the NCLEX-RN Examination every three years to protect the public by ensuring minimal competence for entry-level RNs. NCSBN coordinates the passing standard analysis with the three-year cycle of test plan evaluation. This three-year cycle was developed to keep the test plan and passing standard current.
A PDF of the 2016 NCLEX-RN Test Plan is available free of charge from the NCSBN website.
